I did not know Noh Young Hak was going to be in this. He such an underrated actor, and especially great in sageuks. I hope he gets bigger roles in the future(and that we see plenty of him here, of course). This writer is a hit and miss for me (Yi san was great, dong yi was a hit but much below yi san in terms of quality, hwajung was a complete disappointment aside from cha seung won), so here's hoping she gets this one right for everyone's sake.

Jung Il Woo, Go Ara, Kwon Yool, And More Gather For First Script Reading Of New SBS Drama

The cast of SBS’s upcoming historicaldrama “Haechi” recently gathered for their first script reading together.

“Haechi” is a fusion sageuk drama inspired by the myth of Haechi, a guardian of justice. It tells the story of a prince with a commoner mother who teams up with a ragtag band of people to stake his claim to the throne.

Director Lee Yong Seok discussed endlessly with the cast and worked hard to emphasize the strong traits of each character. He shared, “I think meeting writer Kim Yi Young and all of you is fate and a blessing. I will try to make a drama that can be remembered as a good piece over time.” Writer Kim Yi Young said, “Thank you for choosing to appear in such a long and arduous journey. Don’t just think that a historical drama is difficult and heavy. I hope you act like you’re playing a game of fun.”

Despite five hours of script reading, the actors showed shocking concentration and wondrous acting skills. Jung Il Woo, who has been cast as Prince Yeoning, perfectly immersed into his character and caught the attention with his detailed acting that was full of various emotions.

Kwon Yool has been cast in the role of Park Moon Soo, a passionate young man who seeks justice and believes that the top 1 percent in Joseon society should hold a sword only to defend the weak. The actor successfully transformed into the character who is strong and witty. On the other hand, Go Ara will take on the role of Yeo Ji, a brilliant inspector who fights against injustice, and she expressed her strong personality with a calm voice during the script reading.

Kim Kap Soo showed charisma by playing Sook Jong while Lee Kyung Young plays the perfect villain Min Jin Won. Park Hoon, Han Sang Jin, Lee Pil Mo, Nam Gi Ae, and other actors impressed their own parts well, adding strong support for the drama.“Haechi” is expected to premiere sometime in February 2019.

I'm trying to temper my expectations since this writer burned me on a few occasions(especially with hwajung...), and I wasn't really impressed with go ara's previous sageuk performance, but I'm so ready for an epic sageuk- feels like it's been forever. Plus, too many of my favorites in the supporting cast are included for me not to watch this(han sang jin, kim gap soo, im ho, noh young hak, etc). Fingers crossed!

On January 1, viewers got their first look at this upcoming historical drama.

“Haechi” is a fusionsageukdrama inspired by the myth of a guardian of justice known as Haechi. The drama will tell the story about a prince with a commoner mother who teams up with a ragtag band of people to stake his claim to the throne.

“The world calls civil servants Haechi. Haechi is a legendary creature that judges good and evil,” begins Min Jin Heon (played by Lee Kyung Young), who portrays the axis of evil and the head of political faction Noron. He continues, “But do you know why that creature only exists in legends? It’s because it’s impossible to judge good and evil in reality. But in this world, there are fools who believe that there is a truth different from this.”

Yeo Ji (played by Go Ara), an inspector who fights against justice, says, “I’ll stay alive with my eyes wide open. Until the day I capture that bastard who made the master die…”

Park Moon Soo (played by Kwon Yool) adds, “The real world is where the person who commits a crime receives an appropriate punishment, no matter who the opponent is.”

Prince Yeoning (played by Jung Il Woo), who will transform from a lowly prince to Joseon’s king, says, “What are you going to do? If I become the most king-like king of Joseon?”

“Haechi” will air on February 11 at 10 p.m. KST. Check out the trailer below!
